Maybe if there was a way to keep these teams interested in the event (im not saying that there are not a lot of teams who leave) they will support a team that is still competing and stay roboticly active if there is a side event.

I think what he/she means is that each team has 4-5 qualifiers in a day.
And you are right. Just know that all FRC are weekend events. 2 days of actual competition.
The issue for FTC competition organizers is that they generally deal with roughly 30 teams, and getting each team to play 7-8 matches is tough. But the key to achieving this goal is to obtain efficiency with 2 fields. I think we had 2 fields and my team played roughly 5-6 matches in the day. Which if you think about it, one day, filled with finals and stuff, you can only play so many qualifiers.
